cat-leap
Spring up toward a ledge, arms reaching overhead to catch, knees tucking to plant on the wall.
Composes: move-arm + move-leg + bend-knees
How
- Use a
sequence with loop:false. Frame root is ABSOLUTE; compute the travel axis from state.position+state.faceDeg (0=+Z, 90=+X). The example assumes origin facing +Z.
- Beats: load, apex reaching up (arms overhead, knees tucked high,
root.y~0.5), settle back down.
durationMs ~1200.

Limits & posture
Keep ≥1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support — see balance-and-posture.
